Sales and Treats

Wednesday is the best day to shop at Sprouts market. It's the last day for last week's sales, and the first day for the new weekly sales. I got some great deals along with a few treats.
Frozen mango,bananas,spicy "chicken" burgers, blackberries,onion,lemon,cuties,morning thunder and ginger tea, millet tots.fizzy water,household cleaner,tofu, almond flour crackers,nag champa, Bfree bread and bagels, turmeric green tea,carrot sriracha hummus,coconut milk
The cleaner, millet tots and fizzy water are from Whole Foods. Their orange cleaner is now the only cleaner I want to use. It cleans really well and smells amazing.
These beauties I got at Smith's. I've never tried the BFree bagels. When I first went gluten free I tried a bagel that was made out of garbanzo bean flour. I wasn't really a fan, they were really thin and tasted too much like a chickpea pancake. But these are nice and thick like a regular bagel.
These were two of my treats. Gluten free crackers can be hit or miss for me, and it's frustrating when they're bad because like everything else gluten free they're way more expensive. I've always wanted to try these Simple Mills almond flour crackers but usually they're about five dollars a box. They're on sale two for six dollars at Sprouts so I had to try a box. And as luck would have it my favorite brand of hummus is also on sale!
The crackers are amazing. Hands down the best gluten free cracker I've ever had. The texture is light and crispy, but it holds up to hummus.They're kind of like a wheat thin! I'm definitely getting more while they're on sale!! Although I thumbs down the price, thumbs way, way up on flavor and texture!!

  2. My favorite part of all your hauls are the kitty Quality Control inspectors. Was that Afro on QC duty yesterday?

    Oh, and what in the high holy heck are "Millet" tots? Have you blogged about these before and I missed it? Do tell.

    1. Yes, Afro takes her duties very seriously!!
      Well, I did a review of the tots today but to make a long story short, they are these amazing tots made out of millet! They're crispy and have an amazing crunch and taste. I'm in love!

  3. Oh, BTW, despite the quotation marks, I do know what millet is. Just never heard of a miller tot. Can't even imagine how that works.

    1. I don't know how they form the millet and get it to stay because they don't use a binder and the tots aren't battered. It's magic!

  4. Also interested in the millet tots as I love cauliflower and broccoli tots so don't know why I wouldn't like the millet as well.

    1. Well I've never had a broccoli or cauliflower tot, but I can tell you the millet tots are out of this world! They have onion flakes in them which gives them a great flavor. And you know how sometimes baked tots on't get as crispy as deep fried? Well these come out of the oven nice and crispy. All the thumbs up!

  5. You get such great deals on sales! And perfect timing to find more of the B free stuff on special!! Can you buy almond flour in bulk bins? I’ve made almond flour crackers and they’re sooo easy, just gotta be sure to roll them really thin and be generous with the salt and whatever other seasonings you want (use dry seasonings only)
    Three ingredients! Then you can have the crackers all the time for way cheaper than the salt price :))

      I can buy almond flour in bilk. As a matter of fact I have some in my pantry! Thanks, I'll have to give it a try. So far the almond flour crackers have had the best texture of any gluten free crackers I've tried.
